VELVET AND PLUSH EMBROIDERY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of. Letters Patent No. 298,053, dated May 6, 1884.

Application filed-October 13, 1883. (No model.) Patented in France July '1, 1883, No. 156,450.

To all whom it may concern:

Bc it known that we, EDUARD BAIILY and JOHANN HARTMANN, citizens 0f the Republic A in an economical and easy way a'good shag for plush or velvet embroidery. Two-of the sheets of leather or cloth to be embroidered are put together with their face sides turned toward each other, and'two or any even number of layers or sheets of leather, cloth, cartoon, or any gether are separated by inserting aknife-blade at the middle or center joint between the intermediatelayers of cartoon or leather or cloth, Src., and cutting the stitches. Said intermediate sheets previously put between the two sheets to be embroidered are taken off, which will not meet with any difficulty. Thusthe cut threads of the single stitches will form a shag on the face sides of the two sheets to be embroidered, as in plush or velvet, and will have just the length of the thickness of half the intermediate sheets, and may be left as they are, may be pressed or ironed, and, if thought necessary, prevented from falling out by covering the back side of the embroidery with a coat of some gluey substance or paste. In order to facilitate the cutting of the sheets, two additional intermediate layers of felt or other material are inserted at the joint to be cut open, and removed after the cutting, to-

resents the two sheets to be embroidered, with two intermediate layers half cut open, the ordinary lock stitch being used in the em broidering. Fig. II represents the same, but with four intermediate layers besides those needed for facilitating the cutting asunder of the sheets. Fig. III represents the contrivance applied in the case where only one sheet is to be covered with plush or velvet embroidery.

In Figs. I and II, A A' represent the pieces of leather, cloth,or felt, &c., to be covered with plush or velvet embroidery, and a a' are the face sides of said sheets whereon the embroidery has to appear. The sheets are put together with the face sides facing each other, and two layers, or an even number of layers, of felt, leather, or other material, B B', put between A A', the thickness of the layers varying according to the length of shag desired on the embroidery, and being, by counting all together, twice as thick as the length of shag to be ob-- tained. Two thin additional intermediate layers, C C', are put between the layers B B', or B B and B' B', in order to facilitate afterward the inserting of a knife-blade between B B and B B'. Then the embroidering is done by sewing all the sheets A A' B B B' B C C' together as if they were one sheet, and afterward a knife-blade is inserted between C C' and the connecting stitches cut through, so as to separate AB C or A B B C from A B' G' or A'B' B G, and then the layers B B B' B' C C' may easily be taken off, and thus the face side of A A' will be covered witha shag forming the embroidery, said shag being left as it is or subjected to ironing, pressing, Src., according to wish, and forming a velvet or plush thus obtained by an easy and economical process. The back side of A A may now be covered with a coat of glue or paste, in order to pre- 9o vent the plush from falling out. v It will be observed that by applying the lockstitoh on the embroidery, as represented in Figs. I and II, two distinct and different kinds of velvet or plush will be obtained, A and A. 95 The back side of A shows the interlocking thread D, but the back side of A the embroidering-thread D'; and in case the kind of velvet like A', with the interlocking thread, should be wanted, the arrangement may be made as illus- 10o trated in Fig. 1H, where only one sheet is cot ered with velvet or plush embroidery. Then A serves simply as auxiliary layer, in order to hold t-he stitches.

B C Gare the intermediatelayers, asin the case of Figs. l and Il, and the sheetis parted between A and B or Gand C. The shag of plush or velvet on the face of A will have the lengths ofthe thickness of layers B and C together, and muy be treated as mentioned in the description ot' Figs. l and II.

Vhis contrivanoe ior obtaining plush enr broidery is entirely new, and

N hat we claim, therefore, and want to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. rlhe process of producing velvet or plush embroidery, which consists, first, in ornamentally sewing together surlaee sheets of leather Or cloth with intermediate layers ofthe same or other suitable fabric. then cutting the stitches the projecting out threads constitute ashag on the leatherand cloth, and forming the embroidery design on each ofthe surface sheets.

design, andthe single thread or threads thereof being held by an interlocking thread on the back side of the cloth or leather sheet, and by a coating of paste or glue, the whole being EDUARD BALLY. JOHANN HARTMANX.
